F AMILIES Who have lost everthing ~ including LOVED ONES    

O RDINARY PEOPLE ~ Living on the Coast and in HOUSTON

R EMEMBER  All our Brothers and Sisters in TEXAS

 

T EXAS ~ The Lone Star State and The Yellow Rose

E XCEPTIONAL  in its vast Area ~ Oil ~ Cattle ~ Agriculture

X ENOPHOBIC  She is NOT ~ always Empathetic & Welcoming 

AS THOUSANDS  are rescued from their flooded homes ~ Please 

S UPPORT HER  Financially and in PRAYER without CEASING

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love to ALL BRIAN XOX

 

TEXAS is four times bigger than the whole of the UK and it is Her

Size and Sensibility that overawes us the first time we visit !

Awesome Cities ~ Abilene ~ San Antonio ~ Houston ~ Dallas and

AUSTIN ~ The most beautiful Capital  in the whole of the USA !

I have Family in AUSTIN so I am biased !  TEXAS will NOT drown

in the FLOOD ! With your support and prayers ~ She will bounce 

back again !  Perhaps in our desire to "Build Heaven on Earth" 

we have exploited our beloved Planet EARTH ?  Please forgive

us LORD ~ we stand humbled in the face of NATURE.  Let us

learn lessons LORD ~ that in the future we will seek to live ~ More

like our Native American Bothers in HARMONY with NATURE !

  • Comment from author about the poem: TEXAS ~ Through TV ~ brought into all our living rooms in epic films and of course DALLAS & DYNASTY ! In the UK we all want to visit TEXAS and see for ourselves. We sing "Deep in the Heart of TEXAS" and "The Yellow Road of TEXAS" and older Brits remember President Johnson ~ A real Texan ~ and how he took over from JFK and pushed through the Civil rights legislation ~ Some ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENTS do a great JOB ! I met Lucy Baines Johnson ~ after 911 ~ and she told us how much her life changed when she realised "That Mah Daddy was the PRES~I~DENT !" It will take many many months to get the Coast and Houston back to normal so ~ PRAY WITHOUT CEASING for TEXAS and all TEXANS ~ as bravely they weather this latest STORM ~ AMEN ~ Texan Hugs for All ~ BRIAN XOX

    Good write, my prayers are with yours.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      AMEN ANDY ~ We are too far away to help personally but we can PRAY and spare a DOLLAR for the relief fund ! I have only experienced flooding once in Liverpool ! Great fun canoeing down the High Street ~ but saturated carpets ~ aweful ~ I now live on a HILL ! SANTITA has started another JOINT FUSION on your Dream Job (when young !) a poem will be much appreciated and SANTITA will send you a CYBER HUG ! BRIAN

    • Goldfinch60

      Fusion poem duly written and loaded.

    • FredPeyer

      Thank you Brian, I am sure they need all the prayers they can get!

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks FRED ~ You know as I do that "PRAYER CHANGES THINGS !" SANTITA has started a New Fusion on Dream Jobs when Young ~ We already have six great POEMS ~ BUT it needs a "FRED" to give it a touch of CLASS ~ OK Yours BRIAN

      • orchidee

        A fine write Brian.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Thanks STEVE ~ Texas needs Prayer to lift her up out of the floods and miry clay ! The lovely SANTITA has started a new FUSION on Youthful Dream Jobs ~ Six great Poems so far ~ BUT ~ It needs a STEVE POEM ti lift it up onto HIGHER GROUND ! I have visited the BODEGAS in Jerez (Spain) perhaps that would be your JOB HEAVEN ? Yours BRIAN

          Oh Brian. I don't watch much tv but last night I was preparing to go to bed when I saw the terrible situation the people from Texas are being through. Some times is hard to believe what one see. Very sad. Bought tears to my eyes and guilty to my heart as I was so having fun yesterday and those people suffering. Oh my God! Thanks for your poem in reminder to pray for Texas. That was my last scene last night and I'm still praying for God to have mercy.
          Thanks again Brian.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            OBRAGADO MALU ~ I've only been flooded once (as a child) ~ flood water ruins everything and we only had 6 inches not 6 feet ~ it will take months to recover and even more for the Pain to go way ! If we all say a Prayer each day I know God will take notice and stop the rain or send it to Arizona where it's needed ! Brotherly Hugs ~ BROTHER BRIAN

          • myself and me

            Thank you Briansodes. God will answer your prayer.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks M & M ~ Pleased you believe in the "Power of Prayer" ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

            • Christina8

              Thank you Brian for write this amazing ode for Texas. Even though I do not live there they need all the prayers they can get as they will be needing rescue and recovery efforts for a LONG time. God bless you. Hugs-Christina

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thanks CHRISTINA ~ for your gracious reply ! I have not visited NEW ORLEANS since the flood ~ but She is slowly recovering and some never went back # they Stayed in Kansas and the most unlikely of other States. Houston is a very important City and it has ground to a halt ! I was disappointed in Trump ~ OK he went ~ but he didn\'t empathise with the People of Texas who are suffering real bad ! We have special Prayer Meetings for Texas and we are sending financial aid for the clean up and rehabilitation etc. The new FUSION on Dream Job when Young is underway ~ SEVEN POEMS so far some quite interesting ! A CHRISTINA S POEM (did you always want to be a Nurse ~ did you have a Nurses outfit when a little Girl ?) would be the icing on the cake ~ OK ? Big Hugs for Today ~ BRIAN
